Question

Conjugated pi system:

OPTIONS are TRUE OR FALSE!

Conjugated pi systems still follow Markovnikov's rule and so form the most stable intermediate cation from the available options when the electrophile adds. Extended pi systems become increasingly reactive with electrophiles as the energy of the intermediate lowers. Extended pi systems become increasingly thermodynamically stable as the extra orbitals lower the energy of bonding electrons. Extended pi systems become increasingly kinetically stable as the extra orbitals lower the energy of the transition state electrons.

Explanation / Answer

1) True conjugated pi system followas Markovnokov rule so form stable intermediate.

2) False Conjugated pi system will not react fast due to its own stability.

3) True

4) False
